Object
On a FileMaker Pro layout, an object is a discrete entity or shape that you can select, move,
modify, delete, or name. Lines, fields, buttons, popovers, panel controls, portals, imported
graphics, blocks of text, tab controls, and web viewers are objects.
ODBC
An API that uses SQL statements to access data from, and exchange data with, many database
management systems. FileMaker
Pro uses ODBC drivers to share data (as a data source) and
to interact with data from other applications (as a client application).
1-away relationship
A correspondence between database tables in which two tables are directly related to each
other, with no other tables between them.
One-to-many relationship
A correspondence between data in database tables in which one record in the first table is
related to more than one record in another table.
One-to-one relationship
A correspondence between data in database tables in which one record in the first table is
related to one record in another table.
Operands
Components of a formula. For example, in the formula Quantity*Price, Quantity and Price are
the operands.
Operators
In calculations, symbols that indicate how to combine two or more expressions. These include
the standard arithmetic operators (+, -, /, *), logical operators that set up conditions that must be
met to make a value True or False (AND, OR, XOR, and NOT), and find operators (<, =, @) that
help you limit the records defined in a find request.
In the relationships graph, symbols that define the match criteria between one or more pairs of
fields in two tables. These include: != (not equal), > (greater than), < (less than), = (equal), <=
(less than or equal to), >= (greater than or equal to) and x (all rows, or cartesian product).
P
Panel control
Panel controls include the tab control and slide control. Individual panels of these controls are
tab panels and slide panels, respectively.
